Best Drupal book for beginners?

I know about the wiki and everything, but I much prefer something in my hands that I can just sit and read. I was looking at this on Amazon, but I'd like some opinions.

uploading mr Drupal based website to a web server.

Hi
I was wondering how to upload my Drupal based website to a web server. I have only had it on my localhost server uWamp until now for creating and testing. I uploaded the Drupal7.0 folder from my uWamp folder in program files with all of its subfolders but it didn't work as I expected. In Uwamp for example when first loaded it showed the installation page.

I am just a bit confused. If you upload a normal website not made through a CMS to a web server it usually looks for a file called 'index.html' , is this something to do with ...

I hope you can help.

Version of PHP that Drupal 7 supports

According to a comment on the following page
---
http://drupal.org/requirements
---
Drupal 7 does support PHP 5.2.0+ (while the official documentation says that only PHP 5.2.4+ is supported).

Hoping that this was the case, I began the installation process. My version of PHP is 5.2.17

How big should the database be?

I'm looking to install Drupal 7 for a client. I checked his default database size (host: hosting-advantage.com) and the database size is only 20 MB.

Does anyone know about this company and Drupal as well?

Zen - subtheme

I'm using D7 & trying to subtheme zen by using best practices. There are lots of references to header & I would like to used the fixed layout (and not the liquid one), but I would like my header & footer to span the entire browser window regardless of the size. What is the best practice to do this?

Thanks

Drupal 7.0 Not displaying correctly. (SOLVED)

I've upgraded several sites from D6 to D7 without a hitch … then for a reason a can't fathom my latest site is not displaying correctly.

I've got D7.0, using the default Bartik 7.0 theme, and all my pages are visible. However. All the blocks, including main content, are located one after the other on the left hand side.

So the main menu is listed on the left, then the admin menu, and so on to the page and footer content. Nothing is in the middle or right hand side of the screen.

Bizarrely, when I update.php the initial warning page appears correctly on the screen, then when I click on 'Continue' the page telling me there are no pending updates displays correctly, but as soon as I click on the 'Front Page' or 'Administration Pages' link I'm back to pages that don't display correctly.

Also bizarrely, the log is not showing any errors, and neither is the status page. It's 'just' a matter of display not content and it appears to me like a theme issue, but changing themes doesn't fix it.

The fact that the update.php pages appear correctly makes me think it's nothing serious, but I've been trying to sort this out for some time now without getting anywhere.

Anyone else had a similar problem and know how to fix it?

SOLVED
Just in case anyone else has the same problem
